Kernel 6.0.3-1 hangs after SMART, but 6.0.2-1 boots fine

Hello gang!

My Tumbleweed machine received the 6.0.3-1 kernel a few days ago,
but it wouldn’t boot, so I changed the boot manager to boot of the 6.0.2-1.
First off, how can i trouble shoot this? Is this a bug? My machine?

I would like to continue to update the kernel, but what if the next kernel also wont work,
then I would have the two latest versions, both not working.
Can I increase the number of kernels that zypper keeps when updating the kernel?
Should I keep a copy of the working kernel somewhere?

The logs stop at :


System Journal (/var/log/journal/e178c4075c0248f5992f4ca377d414e9) is 407.7M, max 4.0G, 3.6G free.

But at boot, my screen stops at (Transcribed from image taken of screen)

 
29.632029 rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 2-.... } 5472 jiffies s: 301 root: 0x1/.

Thank you for your time! :smiley:

You can edit:

“multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running” in “/etc/zypp/zypp.conf”

You can add “oldest” which will preserve the oldest kernel, or “latest-2” to preserve the two previous kernels.

As to your problem, I’m unable to offer any suggestions, but I’m sure others will.

Great! Thanks! :smiley:

Semi-shameless bump.

After some updates today, the boot got further along, but still hung after a while.

Could it be my kernel was corrupted somehow? Could i try simply re-downloading and re-installing? If so, how do I do that?

I have the same problem, look at this post for a possible solution: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/577279-soft-lockup-during-boot-with-6-0-3-kernel
I think it is related to the kernel, maybe the next version will fix this
